Well, I don't know the answer to that but I DO know that participating in social media is very much like participating in business and social networking groups.

Impact of Social Media on SEO

Mike Seidle from Pro Blog Service wrote..."Most of our clients at Professional Blog Service come in thinking SEO. Somewhere they hear that blogging works for getting better ranks on Google. Then a funny thing happens: After about one-three weeks the light goes on and they realize that social media can be much bigger than SEO for their business.

2009 Will Be All About Diversifying

Well, I've read and watched several reports this weekend about 2009. And uh, none are promising. I'm paraphrasing here but reading in the newspaper, online and watching CNN, MSNBC and Fox (I guess I am a news hound!) - it seems that we're all in for a very rough ride in 2009.

President Elect Obama said last week, "...it's going to get worse before it gets better..."

Twitter For Business - Some Ideas

If you haven't heard yet about Twitter - and I can't imagine how that could be - but just in case - let me give you a rundown. Twitter.com is a micro blogging tool. All that means is that it's a program, online, where anyone can go, create an account and begin following people and of course, get followed. With that account they can post a note, up to 140 characters, as many times as they like throughout the day, week, month, year, etc. Basically, it's an online instant messaging service.

Does Your Website Have Goals?

Does your website have goals? I mean REALLY!

I bet you think it does. Some of you may be right. But, just to make sure, go and check.

The website goals I'm talking about are measurable goals. This means that when you look through your website stats you can measure if the goals are being met or not. After all, what's the point of reviewing statistics on the website if you don't even know if the campaign is working? But believe me, so many website owners just get a report of… Continue

Internet Marketing For Small Businesses

In these tough (and seemily getting tougher) economic times, small businesses are popping up everywhere!

Writing For Websites

As an SEO webmaster, I am continuously “scolded” by copywriters. I don’t mean Internet copywriters, I mean copywriters, those who write for print. “Writing for websites”, I tell them, “is not the same as writing for print.”

What’s their usual response?

I’m not writing for SEO, I’m writing for the readers! I’m not manipulating my words just to meet some SEO rules.

That’s the usual response I get, something like that. And I hav

Enchance Your Professional Image With Color Name Tags

There was a time when the name badges used in most organizations or businesses were nothing more than a simple engraving with a person’s name and title. There was nothing special about them and they all looked the same, no matter what company or organization you belonged to. Today, however, name badges are taking leaps and bounds forward and the vast majority of organizations are using photo identification or imprinting their badges with color, and are using their logo as another key identifier… Continue
